I hired on with them part-time on or about September 8, kept getting run around as to when I was to actually start transcribing. Team lead emailed to say she had a very very good account for me to start on. I was trained 25 minutes. Then, there was an issue with my ID and password to get into the system. After about 2 weeks, got ID and password, but it didn't work. Then I get an email from another supervisor advising that I would be on another account and they seen the specs. So, I get an email some time around the first of October saying I can start typing. In the meantime, Focus has a MT Forum, and I'm reading all these negative remarks from the MTs stating a lack of communication company wide, to the terrible QA department being not all on the same page, and being deducted points for blanks and such. By this time, I was exhausted from waiting, and exhausted from hearing all the complaints from the MTs actually working there, that I sent an email to team lead saying, I had changed my mind about working there. This is the most chaotic, disorganized, miscommunicated place I have ever seen in my entire 32 years of being an MT. (If there are any errors in this forgive me. Don't feel like proofing this)

Were you full time or part time?
I would like to get about 1500 lines a day in if possible - not possible? The pay seems good.
Not sure about part time but for full time you get SM
up to 12 hours to do a 7 hour shift. Webmedx requires 35 hours a week for full time, not 40.
Full Time vs. Part Time
Can anyone tell me how many minutes of dictation is considered to be full time? I do clinic dictation and am wondering if I am actually doing part-time work or full time?
I have a full time and part time job also. nm

part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience.
Looking for part-time
I am looking for a part-time or IC (part-time hours) transcription position with flexible hours. If anyone can direct me to specific companies who may consider this, I would really appreciate your help.
looking for part time
Webmedx used to hire part time and they are looking for people. Also look up Amphion on the web. they are in Wisconsin.They have hired part time in the past, may still be looking - nice people, steady company.
Part time
Another point is when the hospitals outsource and MTs lose their jobs, this is another area where the MT loses! When we were outsourced a year ago, the hospital tried to really pat themselves on the back and, instead of just being honest and saying it was all about money, they tried to say they made their outsourcing choice based on how important it was that we get comparable benefits to what we had. Yeah right! In this area any part-time hospital employee gets PTO and even more importantly they are able to participate in insurance at a higher rate, but still a great deal compared to buying it privately. I always felt the benefits were the trade off for the so, so salary with the 3% cap on raises over the years.
Yes. I'm part-time, and I was able to
pick my shift. No nights or weekends unless requested, no C-phone, very rare downtime. Most importantly, the staff is available for questions, but otherwise leaves you alone to work. I have no ESLs in the account I'm on. No place is perfect, but they're definitely worth considering.
Part time
Part time is 3000 lines a wk, 6000 in a 2-wk pay period, minimum of 20 hours. I've not had problems being flexible but you do commit to set hours. Have had some sparce times lately but so has my other account elsewhere. I do agree you do not always get all your questions answered. They are worth a try. I've had my issues but will stick around for now.

DSG hires part-time.
Part-time MT help
I am in need of occasional back up help for a clinic. This would be mostly on weekends or if anything happens unexpectedly. I am also hoping to go on vacation for a week in March and need someone who is extremely reliable and experienced to do the full week. It would only be about 3 hours of typing per day Monday through Thursday. You need to be very familiar with drug names. If you are interested at all send me your resume (does not have to be a formal resume) and names of some contact people. Thanks much!

Medical Communications If you are only Part-time, you should be okay.
For full-time people, if your normal work schedule includes the holiday, you are expected to work it unless you ask for it off --- way in advance for the major holidays, but if you are part-time and new, it will really depend on how current the accounts are. If they are not backed up, your part-time hours can probably be covered. Let us know what they say.
re part-time
I chose not to go with them because of attitude of recruiter. My company hires PT too, if you decide to go elsewhere.
I take it you were Part-Time?
I know nothing about unemployment laws, but I get the impression that each state has differing rules as to whether part timers qualify for unemployment. Right?
Do you know if they will take part time and
how did the platform sound to you? part-time
Well I guess I should find out. They had me sign all my paperwork and have a keyfobb they are sending to me. I'll have to call and ask. Thanks for letting me know.
If you are looking for part-time...(sm)
Then maybe Amphion will be right for you. Be prepared to look up and insert info into the ADT screen and then slowing of work to mandatory overtime to switching your accounts to having 6+ accounts in order to keep you busy. I liked the people, and pay sounds great but a lot of work to get any line count. Some accounts are great, but not too many. Re-recorded files mostly, hard to hear, fuzzy audio. Just another typical national...

I wanted to work part time for him, but he said he only wanted full time. His loss i guess. How long do you have to get 500 done?
part time
I spoke to the recruiter on Friday and she sounded very positive. I applied for a part time weekend afternoon position. From everything I have heard that is a hard job to keep filled. I hope that I hear something soon as to whether or not I am hired but until then I will keep on waiting. Testing was somewhat cumbersome with no foot-pedal but that's okay. I tried to make sure the transcription was accurate as opposed to done in a timely fashion. It has been my experience that that seems to be more important with companies. Hope all works out.
doing away with part time? sm
Where did you get your information?
Part-time or IC?
Do Transtech or Keystrokes hire part-time or IC transcriptionists?
Not QA, just part timeGood proofing on your part. Congratulations on the catch. I'm not in QA, just a part time typist doing my job.
I'm part time
have been for 4 years. I should think the best way to find out would be to ask.
Yes they do have part time.

part-time

Word I have from other parttime MTs is as of Oct. 1st MQ will have parttimers working a MINIMUM of 24 hours per week. No less time will be acceptable as a term of employment. My friend will have to quit as she cannot work more than 18 hours per week. MQ is really tightening up in all areas.

Why not do both part time.
At least until the smaller company gets a bit more productive.
Does KS have part time? nm

Part-Time
Sure they hire part-time employees. It's on various employment ads on here. When you hire on you come to an agreement what hours you will work and just like any other company that you would work for, they expect you to be working during the times you agree upon. A lot of people seem to think that just because they work from home they can just log on and off whenever they please. It shouldn't be that mindset. Personally, I treat my job with Transtech the same as I would if I had to get up, get dressed and drive to a job. I get my shower before I go to work and it helps me get in the work mode. If you work well and consistently you will be greatly rewarded working for TransTech. They notice the ones who are consistent.
